orange recipe- the world’s best oven sweet potato fries

I can’t remember when we discovered (and then modified) this recipe from Smitten Kitchen for spicy sweet potato wedges. But they are divine (like heaven, in sweet potato form), and I don’t feel right about keeping this information to myself.

The greatest thing about these yummies is that they pair excellently with winter comfort food and summer grill food alike. And did I mention how delicious they are? Seriously. You need to try this.

ps- Two notes- the smitten kitchen recipe doesn’t call for brown sugar. But the spicy/sweet/savory combo is fantastic. Also, I usually end up on the higher end of the chili flake range and don’t find them to be too hot (I like moderately spicy food, though).

These look delish! I always thought I had to be a “real” cook to use a mortar & pestle in the kitchen, but not so! How fun! I’m also a pharmacist, but rarely use one at work. Guess I need to dust off my mortar & pestle from school & get to cookin 🙂 Lovin’ your series BTW – such pretty ideas & inspiration!

Leigh Anne, I laughed when I read your comment… I am pretty sure I am not a ‘real cook,’ so you DEFINITELY don’t need to be one to use a mortar and pestle. Also, funny that you don’t use one at work either. 🙂 Bust that baby out, friend! 🙂
And so glad you’re loving the series (me too, incidentally). I love summer and love color (and the guests making amazing stuff doesn’t hurt either).
